How come you only 7 guys want to ice race? I know there has to be like 20 guys with wrx/sti/evos on here.. And all you ricers with your honda civics come out and race!
Jason how about 7 guys pay $40.00 instead of 15 guys @ $20.00

I'd be in for that, maybe make some vids and get peoples attention to get a higher car count after an event or two.

I said I'd be interested in it, and wouldn't have problem sayin i'd attend 4 events if i knew how bad it's gonna hurt my car.. but if they let it go thru, i am planning on being there sunday. Hopefully it isn't to bad, and then i can say more..

I don't know if it is a money thing, or a number of people that are driving this guy. I have no doubt that after a few races that more would come and check it out.... I will await his call and see what he says. I cannot make next Sundays race regardless which sucks...

Tonight Tufte and I tested out his homemade ice tires on his stock 1990-91 Mazda Miata. I think they have about 100 self-taping screws with nuts on the outside.. We mounted them and didn't leak any pressure off @ 40psi I was suprised because we didn't use any Slime or tire sealer.
We didn't take any pics so sorry about that..
After testing we decided that a RWD would need more than 100 on the rear tires. On the front I think 100 would work fine.. We did some 5,000 rpm launch's and the studs/screws dug straight to the ground...
If you plan on building ice tires be prepared to spend $50.00-$100.00
Ice testing #2 soon to come with pics and vids

I called the guy yesterday and left a message saying we would have ~10 people. He didn't return my call, so I called again today and left a message, and I still haven't heard back. I don't think this is worth his time.... If anything changes I will let you know, but being the first 'race' is 4 days away, I'm guessing it isn't gonna happen.

Worst case is you could show that there is some interest and he could take the reigns and try and organize it. This has nothing directly to do with Tintmasters, except he called me and asked if 'anyone around there would be interested'. I say go and ask for Kevin. I won't be there (races or not), but check out the surface conditions and see what kind of setups people should plan for IF this ends up working out....
